ROSSER STUDIO is a landscape design practice based in Durham, North Carolina. Founded by Locke Rosser, the studio creates gardens that blend horticultural expertise, ecological function, and a strong sense of place.

Specializing in Southeast native perennials, grasses, meadow systems, and layered planting design, ROSSER STUDIO approaches each project as a living composition shaped by time, climate, and use. The work balances structure with spontaneity, emphasizing gardens that are resilient, seasonal, and deeply connected to their environment.

The studio’s perspective is informed by extensive travel and study across India, China, the Netherlands, and Jordan, along with hands-on horticultural experience at Babylonstoren Estate in South Africa’s Western Cape. These experiences continue to shape a design approach that blends horticulture, ecology, and cultural context into thoughtful, enduring landscapes.

From intimate residential gardens to larger site strategies, ROSSER STUDIO is committed to creating landscapes that evolve beautifully over time while supporting both people and the broader ecosystem.
